Location

In a forest near Leusden, Utrecht province.

Participants

Expedition

I took a slight detour on my way to another appointment to visit this hash on a Sunday morning. I parked the hashmobile in a little car park at the entrance to the forest. I then walked for about 15 minutes through a suprisingly varied landscape. Once at the hash it was tricky to get a stable reading on my GPS, but I did manage to get a zero reading. When I got back to the car park it was suddenly completely packed with cars, apparently belonging to a group of runners preparing for a run (I suppose) in the forest.

Photos

Walking towards a small hill.
The view from atop said hill. There's trees, sand, shrubs and lots more to see.
A bit of forest with some younger trees.
The hash is somewhere up ahead.
Right here, in fact.
GPS proof.

Achievements

FelixTheCat (talk) earned the Land geohash achievement
